jetdv,

I have been unable to separate the two edits so that when they are rejoined with a transition, the transition will work. I tried your recommedation of typing an S when the cursor is positioned at the end of the first edit or the beginning of the second but this does not make the two edits separate scenes or media to enable the transition to work. Can you pleaes point me to the manual or be a bit more specifc as to how this S switch is applied. What I am being told now is that I will have to capture the analog fape as an AVI which ends up being a huge file then edit followed by a long (several hours) of rendering to get the final MPEG 2 file. Can you please provide some additional assitance to me please. I do not want to back to AVI file rendering.

BACKGROUND.......

I began the project with raw Hi 8 analog video then used a Dazzle model 150 to make the AVI file into a MPEG 2 to reduce rendering time to speed up the process. This is the first time I have attempted this and it seems to work fine except for this particular nasty glitch. There simply must be a way to make the edits and splice the MPGE 2 back with transitions. I am really stumped at this point so any assistance you can offer is greatly appreciated.
